1 NAME AND TYPE OF INSTRUMENT
2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The digital weight indicators are fully described in EC Test Certificate GB-1495.
Any compatible load cell(s) may be used providing the following conditions are met:
− There is a respective OIML Certificate of Conformity (R60) or a test
certificate (EN: 45501) issued for the load cell by a Notified Body
responsible for type examination under Directive 2009/23/EC.
− The certificate contains the load cell types and the necessary load cell
data required for the manufacturer’s declaration of compatibility of
modules (WELMEC 2, Issue 5, 2009, No 11), and any particular
installation requirements. A load cell marked NH is allowed only if
humidity testing to EN45501 has been conducted on this load cell.
− The compatibility of the load cells and indicator is established by the
manufacturer by means of the compatibility of modules calculation,
contained in the above WELMEC 2 document, at the time of verification
or declaration of EC conformity of type.
− The load cell transmission must conform to one of the examples shown
in the WELMEC Guide 2.4, “Guide for Load cells”.
The 3590 or 3590E indicators may be connected through the serial line with up to 64
digital cells which may be of the following:
When digital load cells are used the number of verification scale intervals is limited to
the number specified in the applicable EC Test Certificate.

The weighing system can be configured to use up to 32 digital platforms/load cells
which are all connected to the digital indicator/display. The indicator/display receives
the weight data from each digital platform/load cell, with the total weight value
displayed on the primary digital indicator/display. If any of the other platforms within
this weighing instrument has its own weight display then these must be disabled
when used in this configuration.
